J. Gumbo's: Reviews & Ratings
Good eats considering that this is in Ohio! I've gone a few times and tried a couple different things. All pretty dang good.
The food is so good and very well seasoned. Definitely what I needed today! Coworker recommended it and I will be ordering again!
Food was really good I had the chicken and sausage gumbo with cornbread and the house bread. Really good we sat in at about 730 and it was steady traffic but still remained calm and peaceful really enjoying that quiet time, I don't get that often! Customer service was great really sweet and offered great advice on the menu choices and what was popular. We will be back again to try more on the menu!
DELICIOUS FOOD. I grew up eating Cajun food from Yats in Indianapolis and this place is just as good! Really tasty stuff. I love it here. My dad and sister are in town and they enjoyed the tasty food as well. "Pretty good" -Dad "pretty great" -sister "I am full though"
So delicious! I have never had gumbo before so I can't speak on comparison, but this one was delicious and spicy! The jambalaya was amazing and so was the bread pudding. Service was greatand quick and restaurant was quiet. Will return!
Had the drunk chicken mixed with the gumbo and it was such a great combination with just enough spice. I am excited for my next visit to Cincinnati so that I can come back for more!
I drove 40 minutes to go to this J. Gumbo's. My pregnancy cravings had me thinking about it, even though I hadn't had J. Gumbo's in about a decade (and never at this location.) The service was quick and friendly, and the food was just as good as I remembered. I got a bowl with half voodoo chicken and half white bean chili. The serving sizes are huge. When I was done eating, it didn't even look like I had made a dent in the bowl. I'm no expert in Cajun food, so I can't comment on the authenticity, but what I can say was that it was great. Bonus point: it still tasted good reheated (and I'm not a leftover fan usually.)
We were driving through, wanted a quick late night bite and found this place. The inside was clean, nothing fancy. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by two friendly workers. They asked if we had any questions and offered to let us try anything. They were super friendly and helpful! We started with the bumblebee dip.... Crowd pleaser for sure!! Definitely a must try! I opted for the honey sriracha chicken. My friend did half voodoo and half gumbo. We loved everything.
